  • Episode 12: Safety First, Hot Mess Second with Kevin Corbin
    Jan 26 2026

    This week, we chat with Kevin Corbin from Public Safety about what campus safety really means — no scare tactics (maybe), no judgment, just practical ways to feel more secure day-to-day. We bust common myths, share easy habits that make a big difference, and highlight when (and why!) it’s totally okay to call Public Safety for support.

    Takeaway: Staying safe isn’t about perfection — it’s about small, confident choices that help you move through campus with trust and ease.

    Takeaway: Movement isn’t about doing more — it’s about feeling grounded, regulated, and cared for.
